How to add funds to your Nintendo 3DS eShop account.Here’s a list of the games you should really keep an eye out for: Even if your preference is for physical games, no-one should have to pay such exorbitant amounts for them. If you want to play any of these rare, Nintendo 3DS-exclusive titles in their original format, now is the time to purchase them digitally. Those with the heftiest price tags on used games marketplaces are generally titles that are part of a well-loved series, and games that were released later in the console’s life cycle. That’s ten times their original recommended retail price. The rarest Nintendo 3DS games, at least here in the Australian market (the PAL region, a reminder that 3DS games are region-locked) are selling for upwards of AU $500 right now. While some of these titles will still be obtainable in the second-hand market for physical games, the caveat is prices have been steadily increasing – whether in the wake of the closure, or due to their inherent value to collectors. Until the magic that is The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles, Ace Attorney: Spirit of Justice killed my interest in the Ace Attorney series in the same way that Nintendo killed the 3DS and Wii U eShops.With the imminent closure of the Nintendo 3DS eShop on 27 March 2023 comes the issue of reduced access to a wide range of game releases that were exclusive to the console. The story was the level of ridiculous that I couldn’t subscribe to in Dual Destinies and honestly, the new gimmick with the past memories felt like they made the cases a lot more complicated than they needed to be.

So I bought it and then gave up somewhere in the second case. It had been after a conversation with my friend about how terrible Dual Destinies was compared to the first four games of the series, and then she insisted that Spirit of Justice is actually good. I’m pretty sure the last game that I bought on the 3DS was Ace Attorney: Spirit of Justice. So in that mad rush to take advantage of the storefront while it was still around… what did you get? Let’s talk about our final purchases.

I mean, there’s a temporary reprieve for folks who still had download codes to redeem them until April 3, 2023.

The 3DS eShop is closed, so people can’t buy anymore digital games.
